I'll bet the neighbors are relieved you finally found a 5 watt amp to rip through. Lol. Sounds great.

That opening riff was a cross between RHCP and The Black Crowes - NICE ;)

Dude that Tele and amp had incredible tone. What a find. Good job not trying to ask too much from the amp and moding everything in it. Well done

The low end flub can be fixed in a few ways. When I started building classic tube amps I was doing it on a budget. I would start off with building a classic schematic and play through it. I found alot of the old circuits since they were designed to be basically clean amps and a warm clean tone depends of strong bass to make it sound full. The problem is when you start pushing the amp it starts getting flubby. One culprit would be an old speaker which the cone has just gone flacid . But since that is a new warehouse the problem is in the circuit. I haven't looked up that circuit but changing the coupling cap(s) to a smaller size will act as a high pass filter blocking the lowest lows. Sometimes I have added caps on the input as well as the coupling cap(s) between the stages. Also another way to add a bit of crisp and balls is cathode bypass caps. The smaller the bypass the more crispy. Fender generally used a 25uf if you change your bypass to a 10uf or 5uf it will tighten the bass. Sometimes those old amps didn't even use bypass caps. In which case you can get flub. There is also a bright cap you can add across the volume which really helps at lower volume but has less effect the louder you turn the volume but tubes seem to get edgier with volume increase. Honestly every time I have built exact from a schematic of a vintage tube amp of 15 watts or less I had to tweak the amp to taste with a few components. It makes a huge difference.

I love little amps like this. So much tone...

Crispy, punchy, and full sounding. It's catching all the nuances. Great playing , too!! Thanks!!

Wow ! Man the diff. is like day and night and that Tele is sounding great as the Strat as well of course . We will see ya in the funny pages my man peace out.

Love the way you played with it driving and then cleaned it up by playing with a light touch. I really liked the sound before the changes though. I guess I am weird. The strat clean, wow, I would love to hear it in the room. I know you hear the rattle and stuff, but I like it, that’s rock and roll!

I notice you have that same perfectionism thing I have and most musicians do as well! It raises my blood pressure but so worth it when it's right. I noticed it on your descending A Dorian progression your fingers weren't flinching a inch! Your a great musician with great taste and feel, you have a excellent ear and a great tone choice. As with me that one negative comment on one flubbed note eats away at me all week, then I realized its probably some 45 year old guy in his moms basement with no musical background, cheeto dust on his chest with iron maiden posters from 1989 on his walls.

New speaker really sweetened and warmed it up!

Great upload, man. The intro jam was very cool, as was that riff around the 4min mark. That tele suits rather well, with those different flavors coming out and all... Cheers

That's a Great Update! Well done and thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Matthew!

Bro I got shocked so bad one time it knocked me unconscious and threw me about ten feet across the room. The rest of the band said that I screamed and made a sound like an animal. I don't remember any of it except for plugging in my guitar feeling the shock and then waking up. I'm pretty sure I almost killed myself.

Great playing as always! Love the content, keep it up brotha!

Success! Gotta love them old amps...

Sounds great Matthew. I could listen to you all day brother.

I am in love with that tele!

The amp sounds great, along with the great guitar work!

I'm a big fan of the WGS smooth cone speakers. I have both a 12" in a DRRI and a 10" paired with a ribbed cone in a 2x10 Cab. Ribbed for pleasure of course.

Geez, wasn’t really loving the Tele through that, but then you plugged in the strat my god. It has beautiful scooped mid sound. Wonderful

Agree, Matthew. Changed the tired Oxford in my '64 BF Champ for a Weber. Also replaced the 5Y3 with a Weber Copper Cap for a bit more juice. Read Cesar Diaz did that with SRV's amps.

you inspired me to buy a used fender amp.i installed an alnico 5 neck pickup in my squier strat and man I can't believe the tone I now have that awsome fender chime...thanks...peace

The Tele sounds good and, as usual, so does the workhorse! The undercover Champ seems to deliver just about anything put in it very well... in the meantime I'll be tuned in to the '69 Strat breakdown!

Sound fantastic, see the monolithic dual showman in the background!

Beautiful tone and playing 🤙

I have a '78 SF Vibro Champ. Already had it gone over and it needed was a tube and a couple of caps and resistors replaced. Next up is a WGS speaker upgrade.

Wow, I didn’t know Warehouse was making an 8” Alnico - Very sweet indeed!

I could watch you play for hours dude

That sounds great! If you have an old Amperex Bugle Boy ECC83 I'd recommend giving it a try. I rolled a lot of different tubes in my old GA5 & the Amperex really suits the amp well.

I really Dig these small Amps and that one sounds real nice so Peace out and Rock on Brother.✌️😁✌️

Hi Matthew 😀 the tele sounds nice and sweet, the strat cool as usual, looking forward to your looking inside the butchered strat. Thanks for sharing. Nice playing by the way 😀🎸 PEACE

Cool, your videos are always interesting Matthew. One of my favorite combos was my '63 Junior into a Silver-Face Champ, but my Fenders never seemed to have enough ass with them. I guess that's where the Tweed-circuitry makes the difference.

I really enjoyed the sound from the beginning of the video. If that was the ‘before’ I liked it much better. Nice playing!

Great tone, nice playing. Awesome.

Really digging the vids man. Keep it up. You should post more stuff with your band

That amp sounds kick ass love the tone

I have a Champ 600 with mod caps, wiring, etc. Sounds amazing now. Waiting to swap original Fender to Eminence speaker 🎸👍😃

From Boston! Great vid! Amp sounds KILLER!

Sounds great. Great playing, too.

love WGS speakers!! put an ET65 in my Peavey Classic 30, huge tone upgrade, totally awesome!

lots of soul to squeeze vibes on that intro!

great video!!! what a sweet little amp!!

dude, that tone is righteous and nasty in the best possible way. you got it down, man. love it

Great video that amp sounds amazing

Wow. Nice tone with that tele!!!

I have a 1946 Gibson br6 I rebuilt, all stock except the output transformer and speaker. Transformer is a 20watt and speaker is a permanent magnet celestion. Sounds great.

I warned ya about that Tele, man! Awesome tones!

Great sound!

Sounds great. I have a early 60s GA-5 of my buddys here. Runs EL84s. No bottom end because they transformer coupled the driver stage. I gotta make a mod to it to make it sound more like a Fender.

SO NICE! I want to listen with your Les Paul junior

So beautiful !!

I think its sweet .Clean is a sweet tone and I would put a nice od of choice on it .Great guitar playing also

Great playing!!!!

I think that sounded great! Boost it with a Ts,, thanks! Love 2 hear how that sounds!

Sounds awesome with your 59

Fenders always sound great through those old gibson amps. Great playing as always 🍻

Thanks for shedding a bit of light on those warehouse Alnicos, that 8" sounds excellent, imagine if you could get a 10" in that box?

Cool video. Might be fun to try it with an external cab loaded with a 10" or preferable 12" speaker to show the difference.

Cool amp and cool dude!!!

Man I love the sound of that '59 burst.

Nice tone!

Sweet little amp for sure. Would be great for recording.

Sounds good, sounds like you! 👍🏻 love to have a old valve amp... that’s my next buy. Brings out the player. Have you heard of Award sessions? A friend of mine has a few and loves them, but are SS amps.

Excellent tones man! That WGS alnico speaker sounds amazing. If you need and NOS preamp/poweramp tubes hit me up. I've got plenty of RCA that are period correct as well.

My little Tweed Champ (same 5F1 circuit) has the prettiest cleans with single-coils and the volume around 4. Get it up to ten (out of twelve) and the thing is so much fun. Edit: having my little Silverface Champ recapped right now and some of the mods fixed up that were on it when I bought it. Still had the original electrolytics, but a Jupiter speaker when I got it.

Honestly I thought it sounded better with the jensen speaker - Love your channel and playing

I've owned a few champ style 5 watt amps in the last 20 years starting with Fender and then a Victoria 518, loved the 518 but wanted a champ with a tube reverb. Bought myself a retirement present 3 years ago, a Swart Atomic Jr. It's the ultimate champ if you can afford it, glad I got it while they were still affordable.

I bought a stereo cabinet with one of those 8" Jensen speakers in it. Not much of the cone is left though

As expected the tone of the amp came alive with new parts.

The botton end is going to get a bit better once the speaker gets some hours on it ...on the other hand your playing is allways a pleasure to here my brother .👍😁✌

Have to say the Tele and amp play well together the Strat also very soulful... ii didn't mind the 8 in Jensen either. Lots of music in that amp. Thanks for all your effort. Cheers Doug 😎

That INTRO!!!

I tell ya I don't know how many times I've been nay sayd when I tell people those old Jensen's were hit or miss I put a better speaker in my 64 Ampeg and it just came alive Loud too One of the best upgrades on the old amps Very cool Matt

That intro was 🔥 Way to start a video bro.

Sounds great

how are u not wickedly famous dude.... u definitely have the talent

Awesome vid as usual Matt! You refretted a guitar recently (seen on Instagram) will you do a video on that? Peace!

That little amp sounds great. I got an old Fender Bronco amp that I am about to replace the tubes and speaker and bring it back to life

Takes me back to 1965

Awesome Matt《☆》Nice upgrades :*: I didn't hear any rattle :*: See you on the next one🤓☻🤠🚥🚦🗣

Sweet tone

Have you tried a "brown Box" to reduce the voltage input closer to what the amp was designed around? I would use one just to protect the original transformers and keep the design voltages closer to spec and the tone ain't bad either.

When it doesnt distort it sound close to the guitar tones from like a rock by segar atleast with the bridge pickup on the tele, with the strat it almost sounds like a two rock but without the headroom when you dig in

I'd probably re-cone or repair that little Jensen, its a decent speaker for the amp.

I'm getting to where I open up a Matthew video and I click like right away. They are all awesome!

Try that bad boy into a 2x12 or similar external cab

My whole life i`m playing Strats,but that Telecaster...just WOW!!!!

Awesome upgrade; wonder what a Les Paul would do with it...

Sounds cool

I have that same amp, I sounds amazing

Amazing improvement! Still not a huge fan of the 8” speaker...but, that new one sounds great.

The shuffle at 4:10 sounds like 'I can't dance' by Gensis!

Oh Matt’s growing up and learning bigger is not always better. *When talking about amps*^> that is..• ie champs” deluxe’s, music masters, blues jr’s 1,2,3,4’s and some I’m not telling you about!” ;). Next time the boutique amps. Just kidding. Maybe..

5:28 who nose? Pete Townshend:D great sounding amp Matthew

This is your best sounding amp IMHO . It records better too. Just needs a splash of plate reverb post recording and that’s it.

Getting shocked, I remember playing with a couple kids from school, the guitar plugged into an old Twin and a bass into an Ibanez amp on the same power source. Touching both guitar and bass made you an electricity bridge

Amazing

I have a 1960 GA-8t . same blonde tolex . someone converted it from the original 10" speaker to an AlNiCo 12 long ago . at 8 or 9 watts , it has just enough power to make you mad ...

Sounded pretty good bro... Meant to ask you before, who does all your guitar setups, intonation, etc? If you do it, do you prefer that over letting someone do it? I do my own as well

Never played through tube amp till now...need one so bad..
